All things CoronaVirus

Probable outcome


“It will take two things to bring this virus under control: hygienic measures and a vaccine. And you can’t have one without the other,” says Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center and an attending physician in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

Why should we listen to this person?

Where was Paul Offit in April, with what to do to get it "under control" ?

"Good morning. Over 200,000 Americans dead, the President lies constantly, my state is a hotspot, and our maskless Governor has Covid."

Exactly; just another teacher's pet.

shut up and dribble...

To my point, MDLAXFAN........are we to take YOUR comment to mean that African-American's are too stupid to know anything other than "basketball" ?

OR....That you are merely mocking racists? you, yourself are not one

thinking the latter, are we being gracious

see how this works...perhaps treat people as if speaking to them in the same room. Or, in your closed minded, biggoted arrogant case, ignoring them while in the room. So Baltimore.......

well, my first instinct , or thought, is that it was mispoken, or misheard, or a typo.......rather than going full hate. 4 sides to every story. sad part is, the vast majority of posters only seek one. you included.

Quarantine is for those who are close contacts, but have not tested positive. Can take up to 14 days for symptoms to develop.

Isolation is generally 10 days after a positive test.

Not fair. That story is from late May. We had NO idea about face masks in May. Heck, they weren't even invented yet. The Va. governor didn't make face mask mandatory until 6 days AFTER this story was posted. Clearly, he thought them stupid all spring.

Texas and Florida economies coming fully back to life, while NY not so much... Why New York is in a Depression and Texas and Florida are not.

Does economic recovery hinge on controlling Covid-19?

Petey -- this is an interesting article. I encourage you to actually read it sometime. It makes two points:

1. Sun Belt states have done a lousy job on Covid.

2. Sun Belt economies, by random luck, can function better in Covidious times than concentrated Northeast economies. Suburban, warmer, outside, construction and distribution are inherently paced out:

But as August state employment data show, recovery is happening faster in states whose economies are less tied to in-person services, not states
that have performed better on controlling the virus.

TL/DR: Sometimes, it is better to be lucky than good!

#Covid burned out in Florida. On its own.

202 deaths in FL on 9/23. 172 on 9/24.

FL 7 day average is 101. Plateau or maybe even rising again. The average was 38 on 6/30 when Petey first told us the virus was dying out.

The data in no way shows it falling in Florida. It is flat at best and to me it looks like it is beginning to raise. I suspect next week is more likely to be worse than this week.

Your powers of discernment are exceptional RRR.

Glad you figured out that these are a series of comments, quoting the racist idiots and a-holes who have said such...yes, mocking that racism and the racists who have said such...

Who did you imagine I'm "closed-minded, bigoted arrogant" about?
Who exactly did you think was offended RRR?
Racists?

where/what do you see as a trend reversal?

The trailing average 7 day death rate had come down to 77 as of Sept 8, but back up to over 100 a day again. That looks like a "reversal" to me.

The puzzling aspect is the reported daily cases has come way down from its peak this summer and is bumping along ever since...anyone know the positivity rate on tests in Florida? Is there an issue in what's being reported? hmmm...sure wish we could be confident that politics weren't screwing with what's being reported out.

My mom is planning to head to Florida mid October, so it would be great to hear that cases really are way down from their peak and holding low.

I'm not sure whether the Washington data on hospitalizations etc is up to date...https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-s ... _resources

... positivity rate is down, if you believe it. This is one of those numbers that's easy for politicians to diddle. Can't hide deaths, the only diddling you can do is delay reporting, but they come out sooner or later.

that was a 3 day holiday weekend that moved the 7 day around. data is noisy. reporting, not every day's the same. even for 7 days in the short term. deaths have look stable to me. unfortunately. if they follow hospitalizations (the best indicator, imo), which have been good directionally, they can fall further for now.
